Blood pressure monitoring for early heart risk awareness
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a blood pressure monitoring system called Aktiia can help people become aware of high blood pressure early and predict heart risks. It involves using a smartphone and a wrist bracelet (or just the phone's camera) to take blood pressure readings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new wrist-worn device that measures blood pressure without a cuff. You'll wear the device and have your blood pressure taken with a standard cuff to see how well the new method works.
This study tests a new way to measure blood pressure by using a light sensor on your fingertip, instead of a traditional arm cuff. It aims to see if this optical method works as well as standard blood pressure checks.
This trial checks whether an optical device can measure your blood pressure as accurately as the usual method used by clinicians. You may be asked to come for 9 visits and do brief exercises while measurements are taken.
This study tests a new wristband that measures blood pressure without a cuff. It compares the device to a 24-hour blood pressure monitor to see if it works well in people with normal, low, or high blood pressure.
This study compares an optical blood pressure monitor (used like a home device with a smartphone) against standard home blood pressure readings. It’s meant to see if the new device gives accurate results for people with high blood pressure who are not currently on blood pressure medicines.
This trial tests a new wrist device that takes blood pressure readings regularly. The results are compared between when you first use it and a week later.
